Medical Device Automation

For this project, LVP installed a custom roller conveyor system to safely accumulate 20 boxes in a medical device packing area. Boxes were transported from a tape sealer via a twin chain transfer and conveyed to the end of each line, where a pneumatic stop allowed for box singulation. This system made it easier for operators to collect the boxes and pack them onto pallets. Sensors, line brakes, and pneumatic controls were incorporated to ensure smooth and safe handling throughout the entire process.

Our Solutions & Benefits

  • Accumulation of Boxes: Roller conveyors efficiently streamline the packing process.
  • Line Pressure Reduction: Sensors and brakes prevent damage by reducing line pressure.
  • Pneumatic Controls: Ensure safe and efficient product singulation for smooth operations.
  • Complete Solution: Fully designed, built, and installed on-site by LVP for precise performance.

Flexible Okura Conveyors

LVP provided a flexible, space-saving conveyor solution for the conveyance of small HIV testing kits. Due to the fragile structure of these components, it was critical that the conveyance process minimised any potential damage during transfer. Using LVP’s modular Belcon Mini BMS knife edge conveyor and tight radius FCB belt curves, the system ensured smooth product handling while fitting perfectly into the customer’s limited workspace. The conveyors’ 2mm transfer gap allowed delicate products to be conveyed without breakage, proving to be a flawless solution for this application.

Our Solutions & Benefits

  • Knife Edge Conveyor: Ensures minimal transfer gap for handling fragile products.
  • Tight Radius Belt Curves: Optimise space usage while maintaining operational efficiency.
  • Modular Design: Allows for easy system adjustments to accommodate future needs.
  • Damage-Free Transfer: Ensures high-quality production outcomes by preventing product breakage.

Medical Device Conveyor System

LVP completed a complex automated conveyor installation for a leading medical device manufacturer in Northern Ireland. This system was designed to transport delicate plastic trays carrying medical components between two cleanrooms. The first cleanroom was dedicated to assembling the components, which were then delivered on a Just-In-Time (JIT) basis to the second cleanroom for fluid filling. The project was a continuation of a successful installation in 2010, with the new system incorporating stainless steel cleanroom-grade conveyors and advanced control functions to ensure seamless operation and product handling.

Our Solutions & Benefits

  • Cleanroom-Grade Conveyors: Ensure hygienic handling of medical components.
  • Automation: Streamlines the Just-In-Time (JIT) delivery between workstations.
  • Custom Stainless Steel Control Panels: Equipped with AB PLC for robust system management.
  • Low Maintenance, Modular Design: Enhances system longevity and flexibility for future requirements.

Knife Edge Conveyor

LVP recently designed and installed a specialised Knife Edge Conveyor system for the pharmaceutical industry. This conveyor cell was used to handle small, fine packages, requiring precise handling and minimal transition gaps. The system included a 90-degree curve conveyor with a knife edge, variable speed control, and full FDA compliance. These features allowed for smooth, safe, and efficient product handling, especially when integrated with existing machinery on-site. The system’s design also included interlocking safety mechanisms, making it a perfect fit for the customer’s stringent operational needs.

Our Solutions & Benefits

  • Small Transition Sections (<5mm): Provide precise handling of delicate items.
  • Small Transition Sections (<5mm): Provide precise handling of delicate items.
  • Variable Speed Conveyors: Allow flexible control for different product types.

Lift Gate Belcon Mini Conveyor Line

LVP built and installed a custom Lift Gate Belcon Mini Conveyor Line to transport packed medical devices. This project required the ability to lift the conveyor without damaging its cables, which was achieved through a specialised cable management system. The system was driven by energy-efficient Oriental Motor Brushless DC motors, providing precise speed control ranging from 0.5 to 50 metres per minute. These compact motors reduced the effort required to lift the conveyor, while also cutting energy consumption by 30%, making the system highly efficient and easy to operate.

Our Solutions & Benefits

  • Energy-Efficient Brushless Motors: Reduce operational costs by 30%.
  • Lift Gate Design: Prevents cable damage and allows easy equipment access.
  • Precise Speed Control: Ranges from 0.5 to 50 metres per minute, accommodating diverse production needs.
  • Modular Conveyor Design: Allows for future upgrades or system expansions.
